Ola, honored to see it get fed some chugs😎. The EE EE EE EE got me, thanks for checking out my love letter to high gain. It's true name is the Eleven Eleven (II II II II) & I engineered it to be the experience I became obsessed with using my stereo dual high gain towers live; cascading harmonic collision. To those watching I say one thing: demo it in your room & it will hit you like a sledge ⚒👍
Sorry but I disagree entirely. The demo is only good if you don’t have the money to buy it right now. If you do then just buy it. If you have the money and do the demo you will just end up buying anyway. It’s just the best high gain plug-in period. If you play plug ins and high gain then JUST BUY IT.
So there was a few things really missed that make this plugin shine. The first being that if you lower the bias, you can raise the Amplitude which makes the thing rip. That's why the IR didn't sound very loud, got up that amplitude. The other major feature is the Sag, that will help with the attack from the guitar giving it a tighter or looser feel. The gate is also pretty solid for allowing some more grit or a tighter punch which gives it a lot of versatility for recording anything from scraggly beard black metal to Djent. @TaylorDanley did a great in depth video on this plugin that helped me figure out somethings I didn't even realize about it.
@gurahl Thanks for the comment, indeed it is a deep plugin, engineered to be a tone tweaker. The point of Ola's video it seems was to just give a "on first open" impression. There are hundreds of riff and mix ready presets.
Such a massive sound and the "feel" when playing is so good! Bought my first seven string a year ago, and it wasn't spectacular sounding, until I found this plugin. Now I know what chug-damage a downtuned guitar with a great amp sim can do! 🤘🤘
Also, match this with the OA "More is More" plugin and you're all set. I have very little knowledge about compressors, limiters and such. For me, More is More is perfect because it takes out all the complex guesswork. It's all in there, turn some dials and listen, the song now has the secret sauce. Love it!
The furthest I have down tuned is C#1 and this is the only amp sim to handle it without sounding like its sitting inside a isolation box. I'm glad I didn't spend more on neural dsp plugins.
Okay, i have been looking at this plugin for a few days, and read alot of good stuff about it, i would often see OTTO himself answer to peoples comments like : Try it in your room and you wil see ;) So i became kind of intrested.. .is it really that good that he is saying? so i tried the trial...... but ended up instantly buying it after i tried it out! The amount of smack in this is insane! its a damn powerhouse! Iv been trying out different approaches on it with different IRs and blending cabs all day, and i seem to find another sick sound every time haha. the OTTO delivers such clarity in the tones!
Yesss. Ive been waiting for this review. Awesome stuff. This is a great plugin. Im a big fan of otto audio software. It is so fricken heavy. And the tones you get out of it are brutal. Ola can u post some presets please. The ola range.
Moments Ola's face melts from heavy II II II II presets: 2:53 "OK that's really heavy" 3:10 "that's actually cool" 3:37 "that's actually nasty" 3:47 4:06 4:13 4:47 7:07 8:52 "it's actually very snarly" 9:17 "damn man" 9:59 "that's also very cool" 10:46 "I do think it sounds good it sounds very different" On a more serious note, I rarely check any manuals from ampsim, but the back of the amp buttons opens a whole world of tones if you read the manual. Becaus a lot of the knobs are linked to other knobs internally. Only if somehow the presets don't cover your heavy thick needs.😅
Right out of the bat, it doesn't sound like your typical modern amp plugin... which is a good thing for me! Too many of those seem to boost the living shit out of the higher frequencies on the incoming signal, which gets old very quickly. The only thing missing is a parametric EQ for further tone customization, though you could probably use your DAW's default EQ plugin for that purpose... So essentially, we're golden! The stereo output option sounds phasey through monophonic systems (e.g. phones with only one speaker) - not good for demo purposes. Could be easily omitted, since there are pseudo-stereo plugins out there that do a much better job. The IIOUD preset kinda sounded like the guitar tone on an early Novembers Doom EP (Her Tears Drop) :D
This amp sim is ridiculously heavy! If you're on the fence, just try the demo version. I think I bought the full version after playing it for an hour straight. The only improvement I would like to see, is the ability to upload your own IRs, and/or being able to select 2 different cabs, instead of 2 of the same. But that's it. This is a killer amp sim.
This has to be some weird form of Pavlov conditioning : Ola goes "EE EE EE EE" and i felt the need to listen to Meshuggah's Future Breed Machine. Damn good sounding plugin btw
This is my go to plugin! I just wish it had some more basic features like a tunnah and maybe some effects. Maybe the next update! THANKS for making this video Ola! 💪💪
Nice! I've been using Eleven Eleven a lot lately. It's got a certain tube-like fullness that sounds really good. I pretty much use this and Neural plugins exclusively nowadays
The low end thing is to emulate the real life sound waves a 12in speaker throws to your chest (monitors have really small speakers and most of us don't have the privilege to own a bunch of 4x12 + Fortins) guitar players record only a small amount of time, so no need to have a pre-polished sound that sacrifices the joy of playing solo. Should be the other way around like this plugin. This is just the Nolly's IR loader ''room mic'' effect pushed to the next level.
I love this amp. I use it with the Gretsch Electromatic Baritone and the Audiority Green Reaper GR9 Tubescreamer. Sounds YUGE. Can confirm, it sure can Eh Eh Eh Eh ;D It's my joint favourite metal amp, alongside NDSP Fortin Nameless. But I find them complimentary when have them both in a mix. OTTO brings the dark abyssal lows/mids and Nameless has the fiery Balrog Plexiglass treble.
Totally awesome demo man. I just got a new six string and gotta jam through the 1111 with it. Or the Eeee as you say :) I spat out coffee laughing. Keep it brutal
Ola, I use TS on plugins now, It sounds great with this plugin too, which I am on Trial mode now. I wish you put TS before interface, amazing results. Well, I like to use the plugin on mono though.
i love this thing... the nueral stuff is good but this feels like having an amp in my room. also takes my front of amps pedals good. running a plumes or fortin 33 works great.
really great sounding pluggin, wow. The chugs have a real snarl to them. FYI: the pluggin is half off right now if you use the code NIK50, which brings it down to $55 which is a pretty solid deal for what you get.
Hi Ola, big fan here. Just a tiny pronunciation note... Impedance is normally pronounced im-pee-dnce. The way you said it sounded more like impotence 😂
i'm not really into vst plugins (i still prefer the analog amps) but to be honnest this one to me sounds really good (in therms of tone) for record/mix, definitively have to try this one ;)
If you scoop some of the low end and substitute it with the bass like you normally would it comes out very nicely actually, same as you would with any normal 7 string tone
Ola! Please Respong! Will you make a video about how to make a great tone? I have issues with it, and just dont sounds good, what i am making. #pleaserespong
Ola, what kind of computer set up do you use for using plug ins? Also do you prefer plug ins or a dedicated modeler like a axefx? Im trying to decide if i should get a computer set up for plug ins or get a modeler like a axefx
From what I understand the "mono/stereo" is a unique feature meant to emulate a "final mixed product". If that's the case, then I could understand why he would want it to be front and center, to get as much exposure as possible.
@@OTTOAUDIO don't get me wrong. I fucking LOVE the feature. It was just in a few other places first. But i do love the 11 11. Don't think i'm hateing lol.
@@crowdkillproductions. Haha no worries, I engineered my version of it in fall of 2020, ndsp didn't come out with theirs until a year + later, December 2021 with Petrucci. I haven't tried it but many users tell me they prefer II II II II, which is an honor. I made mine completely for my own use and tastes. 😎👍
KT88 tubes sound pleasantly disgusting! Those tubes are the main reason I have bought the Neural DSP Omega Granophyre. Think it's time to add this AMP sim to my arsenal as well.
I wish you tried an E or D tuned guitar. Maybe this excess of low end would be good. Well, I haven´t finished looking it yet, maybe you switched to another guitar...
OK Sir Englund, ... great demo and ... as you said it had it's own sound ... and I normally use setup with amp, cab, mic and the like ... this time it's the first time I finally bought an amp plugin. Thank you very much. But ehhh ... would love to do a special with you on my channel ... which means ... I will do little bit of golf with you and we have a chat. Anyway, ... thanks again Ola. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
if you run ur interface at 192000 u can completely get rid of all latency i know ive seen on here where u talk about feeling a small bit of latency through logic and also remember a vid u was talking about running 4800 running ur interface at highest setting possible will stop it im runniing a scarlet 3rd gen withableton live came with it at 192000 and have my latency down to 2.6 or so, and from what i read a amp general average latency is 2.9 just some food for though and also higher quality audio with ass loads of clarity

Otto! You'vee made it! Once you hit the Ola train it's all up from here!
Man this plug in is simply a panzer...i love it
i just bought it yesterday. such heavy tones!!! now i have to put the thing to use and actually write something.

This sounds effin great to my ears. Tons of character.
Wait until you play it in your room 🤌🧂
My favorite plugin
2:52 had me screaming with how good that was, WHAT IN THE WORLD, MAN!?
hehe 😎
The furthest I have down tuned is C#1 and this is the only amp sim to handle it without sounding like its sitting inside a isolation box. I'm glad I didn't spend more on neural dsp plugins.
Thanks and glad to hear Naz
This is both my dream plugin and my favorite plugin of all time!
That switch you flipped for the headphones gives it a little more clean sound. I like that plugin.
This is probably the most brutal sounding plugin I've heard. Until the next thing comes along... Also, Ola... That guy can make anything sound brutal.
Okay, i have been looking at this plugin for a few days, and read alot of good stuff about it, i would often see OTTO himself answer to peoples comments like : Try it in your room and you wil see ;)
So i became kind of intrested.. .is it really that good that he is saying? so i tried the trial...... but ended up instantly buying it after i tried it out!

You've been stalking me? ;) Haha. I say it all the time because that is truly all it takes. JUST DEMO IT IN YOUR ROOM 😎🤝
@Ola Englund There is a free overdrive by Otto Audio called the Otto8 which you can use as a boost, I have this Amp sim and it's BRUUUUUTAL!
The Punish switch on the back is essentially a tube screamer
You Responged! It's so good to see you demoing this =D.
+ II II II II
The "punish" switch on the back is meant to act like a boost pedal. However, OTTO does offer a free Tube Screamer type boost for free.
Very very nice to the ears especially with headphones on
Dude, this plugin is awesome!
Nice, but we need a revival of Will it CHUUUUG?!?! 🤘🎸🤘
REVIVAL! Pls
Love that you mentioned HLB and Vildhjarta, Buster or Calle would be great to have coffee with!
Yesss. Ive been waiting for this review. Awesome stuff. This is a great plugin. Im a big fan of otto audio software. It is so fricken heavy. And the tones you get out of it are brutal. Ola can u post some presets please. The ola range.
Moments Ola's face melts from heavy II II II II presets:
2:53 "OK that's really heavy"
3:10 "that's actually cool"
3:37 "that's actually nasty"
3:47
4:06
4:13

8:52 "it's actually very snarly"
9:17 "damn man"
9:59 "that's also very cool"
10:46 "I do think it sounds good it sounds very different"
On a more serious note, I rarely check any manuals from ampsim, but the back of the amp buttons opens a whole world of tones if you read the manual. Becaus a lot of the knobs are linked to other knobs internally. Only if somehow the presets don't cover your heavy thick needs.😅
I don't think he meant the nasty remark as a compliment.
Man this plugin is great! Perfect for metal! Awesome tone!
Finally! Been waiting for this one!!!
I love the Otto, default preset with a OD plugin in front( I use Tyrant Screamer). Tight, punchy, a ton of harmonics.
Right out of the bat, it doesn't sound like your typical modern amp plugin... which is a good thing for me! Too many of those seem to boost the living shit out of the higher frequencies on the incoming signal, which gets old very quickly.
The only thing missing is a parametric EQ for further tone customization, though you could probably use your DAW's default EQ plugin for that purpose... So essentially, we're golden!

This amp sim is so sick! 🤘🏻
Just downloaded the trial. I gotta check this out. Some of these gives an Obituary tone
Lololol Ola is so funny "ee ee ee ee" 😂😂. Just barely scratched the surface of what this plugin can do.
Damn at 6:48 I thought a Meshuggah song came on! Lol I gotta give this plugin a try, thanks Ola!
Thanks Ola. Excellent content as always. We love you 🖤
best plugin available
Impudence impedance killer guitar and hm2 sounded good.
This amp sim is ridiculously heavy! If you're on the fence, just try the demo version.
I think I bought the full version after playing it for an hour straight.
The only improvement I would like to see, is the ability to upload your own IRs, and/or being able to select 2 different cabs, instead of 2 of the same.
But that's it. This is a killer amp sim.
You can use pulse or Nad ir to get around that
This has to be some weird form of Pavlov conditioning : Ola goes "EE EE EE EE" and i felt the need to listen to Meshuggah's Future Breed Machine. Damn good sounding plugin btw
This is my go to plugin! I just wish it had some more basic features like a tunnah and maybe some effects. Maybe the next update! THANKS for making this video Ola! 💪💪
@@Durkhead It's a sweet plug-in for sure, but OTTO is still the better sounding for me.
THIS!!!....no amp sim in 2023 should be missing a tuner. Effects are one thing(have them or don't) but a tuner is a necessity
@@dieslow313 I agree. A simple tuner in the vst would be sweet. 🎶
it's better than all neural dsp plugins
love this plugin cheers brother Ola
Nice! I've been using Eleven Eleven a lot lately. It's got a certain tube-like fullness that sounds really good. I pretty much use this and Neural plugins exclusively nowadays
Damn that thing sounds pretty awesome
Sheesh... finally
😂😂
Sounds good actually.
Also love the Nevermore.

Surprised it too this long for you to cover this.
Fuck yes I've waited so long for you to check this out!!!
For low (and ridiculously low) tuned metal nothing beats it IMO, haven't switched on my axefx for metal since i got it! :)
Nice job dialing that in.
I love this amp. I use it with the Gretsch Electromatic Baritone and the Audiority Green Reaper GR9 Tubescreamer. Sounds YUGE.

It's good to have an impotence curve or an impedance curve
Totally awesome demo man. I just got a new six string and gotta jam through the 1111 with it. Or the Eeee as you say :) I spat out coffee laughing. Keep it brutal
Can we get some Ola presets ? please.....
This sounds fantastic in a mix, it really has something else others don't have. The only downside is it's not Mac native yet.
it comes as an AU, is that not native enough?
@@Lomni yea, thats native enough
Ola, I use TS on plugins now, It sounds great with this plugin too, which I am on Trial mode now. I wish you put TS before interface, amazing results. Well, I like to use the plugin on mono though.
This is, what I call the Gojira killer. Purchased the day I heard it the first time. My go-to.
Same, and I tried to love the Gojira plug-in, cause i love Gojira, but this kicks it ass.
Ahhhh Gojira sound ... awesome. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
When you said the name it reminded of the part where Forest gets told that his mom really cares about his education
10:46 says it all

Edit: 3:35 is super nasty 🥴
Good Morning Ola .
Great something else I need to get
Awesome 🎉
That harmonic at 9:45 sounded brutal
that sounded more Slipknot than Slipknot.
@@dynatwenty Yeah lol
10:06 play with what response?
Wow, again a plugin ! That's nice !!!
🤘🔥
Sounds awesome by itself but in a mix I’d be chopping out so much of that bass. Lol
If you scoop some of the low end and substitute it with the bass like you normally would it comes out very nicely actually, same as you would with any normal 7 string tone
🤘🤘
Ola! Please Respong! Will you make a video about how to make a great tone? I have issues with it, and just dont sounds good, what i am making. #pleaserespong
Speaking of plugins, I'd be curious to know your thoughts on the Neural DSP Mark II C+ plugin, since you have experience with the real amplifier.
Nice sounding guitar!
Ola, what kind of computer set up do you use for using plug ins? Also do you prefer plug ins or a dedicated modeler like a axefx? Im trying to decide if i should get a computer set up for plug ins or get a modeler like a axefx
Ola, any chance you'll give the Neural Amp Modeler a test?
Can you try out a Sunn amp at same point? I would LOVE to see how you make it sound
The Otto 1111 actually has a Sunn preset, and it sounds SICK, Ola didn't try it here, he only tried like 1/3 of the presets in this video
Yes, the impotence curves 😁
From what I understand the "mono/stereo" is a unique feature meant to emulate a "final mixed product". If that's the case, then I could understand why he would want it to be front and center, to get as much exposure as possible.
The feature isn't unique. Audio Assault and neural dsp (to an extent) and the new jst amp sim have it.
It's designed to be a wall of sound akin to a stereo dual stack, ie double tracked dual guitars.
@@OTTOAUDIO don't get me wrong. I fucking LOVE the feature. It was just in a few other places first. But i do love the 11 11. Don't think i'm hateing lol.

burppppppp ....ola always on top gUitarists MODERN PLUG INZ CHEERSSS from LECCE.............
Ah, I can't trial it again because I trialed it a good while ago. I like it, though!
That impotence curve is a downward curve.

My personal go to (I just wish it had a tuner 🙏) 😎
The Eleven Eleven is badass!!! \m/
Maaaaan this is sound so good!am not plugin fan but this is impresed me🤘!
It will make you bored with your real amps.
@@OTTOAUDIO probably,it is sound killer
i like it on my mac. did the trial because i think its a bit expensive for a high schooler. sweet setup tho
All this new gear and sound makes me want to get the least expensive and shittiest amp and run a pedal through it and call it a day.
I do ab testing with my old free vst chain all the time to justify these purchases x)
I totally get it. I’m in the middle of getting rid of most of my physical gear. I will just keep it as minimalist as possible.
I was just watching a video on a $200 all tube amp
I was going to go on a tirade about plug-ins but, honestly, this sounded sick.
😂🏆👍
Got it the last day of the free trial and i literally cant get my hands off of it.
KT88 tubes sound pleasantly disgusting! Those tubes are the main reason I have bought the Neural DSP Omega Granophyre. Think it's time to add this AMP sim to my arsenal as well.
Thanx
that first pre-set was sickenly heavy watfuk
This plugin makes me want to play March of the S.O.D until my hands fall off.
One of the first songs I tried on it!
I wish you tried an E or D tuned guitar. Maybe this excess of low end would be good. Well, I haven´t finished looking it yet, maybe you switched to another guitar...

Yes, I know
When you did the eeh eeh! I got flashbacks at a horror movie. Lol. Please don’t. Lmao!
